Did a Muzzle loader hunt in southern AZ and left for the hunt Xmas morning. Shot a deer this monday at high noon on the 5th day. Have to admit some luck was with me on this deer, not my usual ass busting to get my tag punched but I will take it any way I can. He is not huge but ranks high on cool factor with being real white and still has a lot of velvet strips on him. Tough hunt, even went one day without even seeing a MD doe. Seen lots of coues deer though. Slept in the rental SUV and damn it got cold one night as you can see!
good looking country though, you would never guess it is AZ
lots of these Mearns quail running around
he has 2 little drops that are really cool but hard to see.
Sorry about the bloody photos but this was something that never happened to me before. I took a gallon of water out there (seen in picture) and washed his face off 4 times but the blood kept foaming out his nose like I never seen before, it just never stopped for probably 20 minutes! you can even see some on the ground where I tried to drag him away from the blood for the pictures.
